ZFS DDT metrics

[jpds]

The exporter should grab the ZFS DDT metrics from: /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/$poolname/ddt_stats_*

Please provide a bit more details What are these? Why do you need them etc. Just so we have a bit more context to decide if we want them without having to do that research ourselves. Thanks!

It's the stats for the ZFS deduplication table. Now that we have https://klarasystems.com/articles/introducing-openzfs-fast-dedup/ we have a filesystem that can efficiently dedup the same data across filesystem blocks. Very useful for things like Docker or virtual machines hosts.

Cool ok, I see this being useful. As usual, the parsing needs to go into prometheus/procfs and then can be used here.

@jpds is this being worked on?

[michael-duren]

I'd like to take a stab at it, if no one else is working on it.
